PROJECT JASON
by Anonymous

Hello!

Please let us introduce ourselves. Our names are Adam Rossmann and Matt Toporski and we are from Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Racine, Wisconsin. We are working on a service project and we hope that your company may be able to help us.

Our project is called "Project Jason" and we are working with Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. The name of our project was chosen after an older teenager who is being treated for a very aggressive form of cancer, which is resulting in him having to have a transplant. We are trying to secure laptop computers for kids like Jason who are having transplants. Transplant patients require complete isolation for anywhere from 30 days on up, depending on the progression of their health. These kids are literally cut off from the world for a period of time. Laptops would open up that world for them. These kids would be able to communicate with friends and family through the use of e-mail, and to also correspond with their schools and teachers to get homework assignments so that they can continue their education aided by the in-house teachers at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. They could also get on the Internet to do research or to just simply play a game.

We are looking for donations of used laptops or financial donation to help purchase a laptop for these children. We are asking for laptops because they must be mobile. Maybe your company is upgrading and would like to donate your old ones to a good cause. Please consider this donation and remember that it will make a huge difference in the life of a child battling for his or her own life. Laptops must be in good working condition and must include a modem.

The donated laptops will be checked over by a volunteer technician, cleaned up, and sterilized. The Social Workers, and Child Life Specialist at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin will help decide who may need one of these computers. We want to make sure that they go to kids that may not otherwise be able to get a computer. If you have any questions regarding this donation, you may contact our Youth Director, Dori Rossmann at 262-605-1546. Please leave a message, and she will return your telephone call. Any laptop or financial donations should be sent to:

Lutheran Church of the Resurrection
Attn: Dori Rossmann
322 Ohio Street
Racine, WI 53405

Please seriously consider helping us, as your generosity will truly be appreciated. Receipts for your donations will be sent upon request.

Thank you,

Adam Rossmann and Matt Toporski
